| Nuno and I in front of the restaurant |
To preface, Nuno and his friends play poker once a month. They have been playing as a group since 2007 and take it very serious, keeping track of each winner and then at the end of the year announcing the winner of the year, who then has to give a speech. Every week they put in money to bet on the game, but they have set the extra money aside in a back account. After five years of accumulation, they decided to invite the wives and significant others out to a fancy gourmet dinner at Châteauvieux, a very fancy well-known restaurant in Geneva. There was I think about nine courses, including two different desserts. We even got to meet the chef at the end of the night, as we were not only the first ones to arrive, but the last ones to leave. The thirteen of us had a great time, the only sad part was toward the end of the night, my tired brain makes it near impossible to speak French anymore. But that's okay because my tummy was happy!
